Bubbles of Nothing

MAGPIE 60

They could be drops of water
On a window but  they're not
They could be many craters
On the moon but they're not

They could be tumbling tears
On a cheek but they're not
They could be healed  scars
On dark skin but they're not

They could be tiny holes 
In a loofah but they're not
They could be particles of dust
On a duster but they're not

They could be honeyed nougat
In a chocolate but they're not
They could be powder sherbets
On a lolly but they're not

  What are these mystery droplets
That delight many mouths afar?
They're delicious chocolate bubbles
 In a NestlĂ©  Aero bar!

  14. Charming! Okay, here's what you need to do.....have music set to this poem and submit it on a dvd to the Nestle' Corp., along with your spoken (and accompanying written) proposal that it be used in their advertising; payment negotiable. Seriously! It is that good...and I guess the candy is very good too. :)
